The FS Marriott finished with the lobby construction. It is quite nice. Lounge is open and follows the typical business schedule of M-F, closed Friday evening and reopens Sunday evening (I think). Food selection is not great for either breakfast or evening, Desserts not bad. I personally find the fancy coffee machine and free fruit to be worthwhile.

I never stay on weekends so I am not sure about the breakfast coupons. I seem to remember in the past they will give you like a $8 voucher for the hotel coffee shop on weekends. But don't hold me to it.

I find the food at La Concha to be worst. Also, La Concha does not have bottled water and sodas are kept hidden. One have to ask for it. The FS Marriott tends to look the other way if you take out soda or water from the lounge. But do not be so obvious with food.

If you gamble, be sure to sign up for a players card and use it at the tables. You don't have to play much before earning some free food. Also, you can always call up and see if there is a casino rate available for the room which is lower than the regular rate.
